1 “ These things I have spoken to you so that you may be kept from stumbling.

¶ These things I have spoken unto you that ye should not be offended.

2 T hey will make you outcasts from the synagogue, but an hour is coming for everyone who kills you to think that he is offering service to God.

They shall put you out of the synagogues, and the hour will even come when whosoever kills you will think that he does God service.

3 T hese things they will do because they have not known the Father or Me.

And they will do these things unto you because they do not know the Father, nor me.

4 B ut these things I have spoken to you, so that when their hour comes, you may remember that I told you of them. These things I did not say to you at the beginning, because I was with you. The Holy Spirit Promised

But I have told you these things that when that hour shall come, ye may remember that I told you of them. And I did not say these things unto you at the beginning because I was with you.

5 “ But now I am going to Him who sent Me; and none of you asks Me, ‘ Where are You going?’

But now I go unto him that sent me, and none of you asks me, Where goest thou?

6 B ut because I have said these things to you, sorrow has filled your heart.

But because I have said these things unto you, sorrow has filled your heart.

7 B ut I tell you the truth, it is to your advantage that I go away; for if I do not go away, the Helper will not come to you; but if I go, I will send Him to you.

¶ Nevertheless I tell you the truth: It is expedient for you that I go away; for if I do not go away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you.

8 A nd He, when He comes, will convict the world concerning sin and righteousness and judgment;

And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin and of righteousness and of judgment:

9 c oncerning sin, because they do not believe in Me;

of sin, because they do not believe in me;

10 a nd concerning righteousness, because I go to the Father and you no longer see Me;

of righteousness, because I go to my Father, and ye see me no more;

11 a nd concerning judgment, because the ruler of this world has been judged.

of judgment, because the prince of this world is judged.

12 “ I have many more things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now.

I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now.

13 B ut when He, the Spirit of truth, comes, He will guide you into all the truth; for He will not speak on His own initiative, but whatever He hears, He will speak; and He will disclose to you what is to come.

Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth, for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak, and he will cause you to know the things which are to come.

14 H e will glorify Me, for He will take of Mine and will disclose it to you.

He shall clarify me, for he shall take of that which is mine and shall cause you to know it.

15 A ll things that the Father has are Mine; therefore I said that He takes of Mine and will disclose it to you. Jesus’ Death and Resurrection Foretold

All that the Father has is mine; therefore I said that he shall take of that which is mine and shall cause you to know it.

16 “ A little while, and you will no longer see Me; and again a little while, and you will see Me.”

¶ A little while, and ye shall not see me; and again, a little while, and ye shall see me, because I go to the Father.

17 S ome of His disciples then said to one another, “What is this thing He is telling us, ‘ A little while, and you will not see Me; and again a little while, and you will see Me’; and, ‘because I go to the Father’ ?”

Then some of his disciples said among themselves, What is this that he says unto us, A little while, and ye shall not see me; and again, a little while, and ye shall see me; and, Because I go to the Father?

18 S o they were saying, “What is this that He says, ‘A little while’ ? We do not know what He is talking about.”

They said therefore, What is this that he says, A little while? we cannot understand what he says.

19 J esus knew that they wished to question Him, and He said to them, “Are you deliberating together about this, that I said, ‘A little while, and you will not see Me, and again a little while, and you will see Me’?

Now Jesus knew that they were desirous to ask him and said unto them, Do ye enquire among yourselves of what I said, A little while, and ye shall not see me; and again, a little while, and ye shall see me?

20 T ruly, truly, I say to you, that you will weep and lament, but the world will rejoice; you will grieve, but your grief will be turned into joy.

Verily, verily, I say unto you, That ye shall weep and lament, and the world shall rejoice; but even though ye shall be sorrowful, your sorrow shall be turned into joy.

21 W henever a woman is in labor she has pain, because her hour has come; but when she gives birth to the child, she no longer remembers the anguish because of the joy that a child has been born into the world.

The woman, when she is in travail, has pain, because her hour is come; but as soon as she is delivered of the child, she remembers the anguish no more, for joy that a man is born into the world.

22 T herefore you too have grief now; but I will see you again, and your heart will rejoice, and no one will take your joy away from you. Prayer Promises

And ye now therefore have sorrow; but I will see you again, and your heart shall rejoice, and no one shall take your joy from you.

23 I n that day you will not question Me about anything. Truly, truly, I say to you, if you ask the Father for anything in My name, He will give it to you.

¶ And in that day ye shall ask me nothing. Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whatever ye shall ask the Father in my name, he will give you.

24 U ntil now you have asked for nothing in My name; ask and you will receive, so that your joy may be made full.

Until now ye have asked nothing in my name; ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may be fulfilled.

25 “ These things I have spoken to you in figurative language; an hour is coming when I will no longer speak to you in figurative language, but will tell you plainly of the Father.

I have spoken these things unto you in proverbs, but the hour comes when I shall no longer speak unto you in proverbs, but I shall show you plainly of the Father.

26 I n that day you will ask in My name, and I do not say to you that I will request of the Father on your behalf;

In that day ye shall ask in my name, and I do not say unto you that I will ask the Father for you;

27 f or the Father Himself loves you, because you have loved Me and have believed that I came forth from the Father.

for the Father himself loves you because ye have loved me and have believed that I came out from God.

28 I came forth from the Father and have come into the world; I am leaving the world again and going to the Father.”

¶ I came forth from the Father and am come into the world; again, I leave the world and go to the Father.

29 H is disciples said, “Lo, now You are speaking plainly and are not using a figure of speech.

His disciples said unto him, Behold, now thou speakest plainly and speakest no proverb.

30 N ow we know that You know all things, and have no need for anyone to question You; by this we believe that You came from God.”

Now we understand that thou knowest all things and needest not that anyone should ask thee; by this we believe that thou didst come forth from God.

31 J esus answered them, “Do you now believe?

Jesus answered them, Do ye now believe?

32 B ehold, an hour is coming, and has already come, for you to be scattered, each to his own home, and to leave Me alone; and yet I am not alone, because the Father is with Me.

Behold, the hour comes and is now come, that ye shall be scattered, each one to his own, and shall leave me alone; and yet I am not alone, because the Father is with me.

33 T hese things I have spoken to you, so that in Me you may have peace. In the world you have tribulation, but take courage; I have overcome the world.”

These things I have spoken unto you that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation; but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.
